Manager r. o. Foster-I am not able,
neither is any private manager in the coun-
try, to pay the big salaries these men are OF
fering. The players are not worth it. L
can't build up a good team unless l can be
protected against these fellows coming in
here every fall and taking away my best best
men. AS an instance, am paying Klopf $75
per month. He is young and green but he is
developing into pretty good player lie
would make good pitcher next year. But
can't afford to give him ZOO, the offer ne
has had to go TO Washington. The fact is he
is not worth it. To men whom l could only
afford to pay 5000 for the season these fel-
lows are offering from $1,000 to $4,000.
Some sort of law should be passed prohip-

The old question of city chain gang
that relic of barbarisn-came I'D in
the council yesterday and called out
several warm speeches OH the subject of
convict labor. Aid. Oswald wanted the
cOnvicts at the work house sent out on
the Crystal Lake road. Aid. DIVER
made an impassioned speech against if.
and was backed up by Aid. Parker. but
the resolution was adopted.
The monthly budget of bills amounted
to S60,916.S7. The work house commit
tee was given authority to readvertise
for bids for the proposed work house

Criminal Proceedings to Begin for
His Crooked Sewer Work.

His Crooked Sewer work.
The committee ON sewers thinks it
has ''sinch'' on B. l.. Sykes, the East
side sewer foreman, and this morning
warrant will be sworn out for his arrest.
1t is said that Sykes has an intuition of
the wrath to come, and not only did he
fail to appear before the investigation
committee, but it is said he has left the
city between two days. 1t was reported
to the council yesterday that he had en-
beZZled about S2SS.65 in material, be-
side sending off men on private work
and carrying their names OH the city
pay roll. The city attorney was in
structed to proceed in the case. The
facts brought out at the investigation
yesterday morning apparently showed
three things: First. that Sykes has been
Systematically selling the city'S sand,
cement and stone and pOcketing the
proceeds; second, that he has sent men
Off to do outside work, approprlating
their pay and carrying their names
meanwhile on the city pay roll; third,
that the methods in vogue in the engl-
neering department must be very loose
at times, or this kind of theft could not
so long have been carried on without
detection. The city had two men in
charge of this work, yet Sykes sold 5353
loads of sand to be used on the univer-
Sity buildings before he was cut short,
and complaint was not made until it
became general talk on the East side,
and even then came from outside
parties.
The testimony taken was very thor
ough as far as it went, but if Sykes is.
ever brought to trial it is believed there
will be considerably more crOOkedness
developed. 1t was shown, conclusively,
that sand. store and cement amounting
to nearly $500 had been sold by Sykes.
and only $40 covered into the city treas
ury, and that only when the fact was too
well known to be disguised. Teamsters
who hauled away the material testified
before the committee, and men and
women who bought it told of the fact.
Sykes did not appear to defend hims elf,
and the committee was at no loss in
reaching a conclusion. Its report was
laid before the council. and though one
of the members referred, privately, to
the fact that this peculation should have
earlier been discovered by the engineer
ing department, nothing was said c it.

DULUTH MATTERS,
The Flour Receipts for the Year
Reach Big Total.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., Oct. 21.-Receipts of
-four at Duluth for the past few days has
been heavy, averaging for three days
$500 barrels daily. Tuesday there were
shipped from Minneapolis $3.50 barrels
and yesterday 5,625. Last Monday
there were over 100000 barrels in store
here and now that total is considerably
increased, for shipments have been
lighter than receipts. While it is
doubtful if flour receipts for the year
exceed those of 1856, they will be very
large, averaging for several months o.
600 to 100000 barrels monthly. These
receipts, together with what flour was
in store at the opening of navigation
and what will be received between it's
close and Jan. l, will make the very re-
spectacle total of between /, 100000 and
100000 barrels.
COAL SHIPMENTS. g .
Shipments of coal from the head of the
lake westward are now running about
1000 per day. The Northwestern Fuel
company alone has shipped 1,6OO tons in
the last seven days and has felt the
want of cars in that time. Shipments
by that company yesterday were $500
tons, and 2.5G0 tons the day previous.
The estimated shipments for other
docks are 5000 tons per day for the
Ohio, 120 for the Lehigh and 600 for the
st. Paul & Pacific.
